<p>GNU Fortran supports an extended list of mathematical intrinsics with the
compile flag <samp>-fdec-math</samp> for compatability with legacy code.
These intrinsics are described fully in <a href="Intrinsic-Procedures.html">Intrinsic Procedures</a> where it is
noted that they are extensions and should be avoided whenever possible.
</p>
<p>Specifically, <samp>-fdec-math</samp> enables the <a href="COTAN.html">COTAN</a> intrinsic, and
trigonometric intrinsics which accept or produce values in degrees instead of
radians.  Here is a summary of the new intrinsics:
</p>

<p>For advanced users, it may be important to know the implementation of these
functions. They are simply wrappers around the standard radian functions, which
have more accurate builtin versions. These functions convert their arguments
(or results) to degrees (or radians) by taking the value modulus 360 (or 2*pi)
and then multiplying it by a constant radian-to-degree (or degree-to-radian)
factor, as appropriate. The factor is computed at compile-time as 180/pi (or
pi/180).
